If you are lucky enough to make it out to the IMSA race in Long Beach, California, this weekend, you’ll not only be able to watch the Chip Ganassi Racing Ford GTs compete, but you’ll get to see a pretty special safety vehicle leading the field—a 2016 Focus RS.

This weekend the official safety vehicle of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship’s BUBBA burger Sports Car Grand Prix At Long Beach will be this 2016 Focus RS.

“We’re thrilled to provide the 2016 Ford Focus RS to IMSA as the safety car for the race in Long Beach this year,” said Dave Pericak, global director, Ford Performance. “The Focus RS is one of the most highly anticipated new Ford Performance products coming out this spring, and we know that the fans in Long Beach and those watching on television will enjoy seeing it on track.”
